 I was fishing round the radio and went to about 10 stations after hearing some nice Hispanic music. I landed at NPR with the DemocracyNow.org commentator, Amy Goodman, with Juan Gonzalez interviewing Oscar Lopez Rivera who'd been released from decades in jail, many of those years in solitary. "Yikes!" I thought,"I can't miss this." I learned a lot in a  short period of time.
